Our Mission

What is MetaFormation and Why do we exist?

Me•ta: An awareness of a higher state, often signifying change
Form•at•ion: The action or process of giving shape to something

MetaFormation literally means ‘the higher awareness of heart beliefs that shape transformational change’. It’s a look at how personal transformation actually happens and how it is reproduced. MetaFormation pulls aside the curtain of religious assumptions about change to discover Jesus’ way of transformation. 

Typically, when we set out to change, we start with a behavior we don’t like, and use self-discipline to alter what we do. Our typical way of change starts on the outside, focused on something negative, which depends on us to make the change. Jesus’ way is the exact opposite: he begins on the inside, his focus is on the positive thing he is giving us (filling our deepest desires inside our relationship with him), and his process doesn’t depend on our discipline but his gift. For Jesus, changed behavior is produced by desire fulfilled in relationship with Him. This ‘form of formation’— an inside-out way of change — is as powerful as it is unfamiliar. Like Apostle Paul, … “we are in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you!(Galations 4:19)

MetaFormation immerses you in this radically different way of transformation. Since Jesus’ method is relational and experiential, so is ours. Instead of a talking-head lecturer, we employ activations, live demos, peer practice and waves of creative God encounters to rewire your brain. Then we equip you with the tools and coaching skills you need to introduce others to Jesus’ change process – it is something we call Encounter Coaching

MetaFormation's Vision

To train 100,000 leaders worldwide by 2040 to live, lead and coach from the heart.

If each leader only touches 10 people with the Encounter Coaching skills they learn, we will have reached 1 million people. More likely, each leader will reach at least 100 people with Encounter Coaching, thereby reaching 10 million people and effectively changing our world and how people engage with Jesus.

Our 3-Phase Vision

As we progressively move towards our long-term vision, our vision will evolve every eight years reflecting our progress and an ever-changing world. From 2011 through 2024 we’ve trained over 1,000 Encounter Coaching Leaders and have fully certified over 100 Encounter Coaches (and 7 Mentor Coaches).

Our second phase (from 2025 to 2032) is to grow from 1,000 to 10,000 Encounter Coaching Leaders (10x Growth) with emphasis on building a diverse, yet cohesive team of Leaders and Mentor Coaches that operate together like a family-owned business with Jesus. Our team of Mentor Coaches will grow from 7 in 2025 to 100 by 2032.

Our third phase (from 2033 to 2040) is to experience 10x growth again by bringing our total number trained from 10,000 to 100,000. We are confident Jesus will show us a new strategy for this third phase by 2033!!

All too often, Christian ministry organizations focus almost exclusively on the organization’s vision and will draw people able to meet their organizational goals. MetaFormation’s mission is to build a community of like-minded saints who have a vision for building the broader Kingdom of God. We recognize that each individual has a unique God-given gifting and destiny calling. We see our role at MetaFormation is to draw out those giftings so that as a community we can effectively equip, disciple, and support each Encounter Coaching Leader in their calling. We believe this aligns with Jesus’ great commission of making disciples who in turn make disciples – thus making disciples of nations!

Building a Community of Encounter Coaching Leaders

We bring together followers of Jesus who desire life-giving encounters with God, so that together we can personally grow in our intimacy with Jesus and confidently lead others into a God-encounter lifestyle. 

Our Mission Has The Following Four Elements:

Develop an Empowered Team – a diverse, yet cohesive team of Leaders, Mentor Coaches and Certified Coaches that know and love each other from the heart – operating together like a family-owned business with Jesus.

Build a loving, Jesus-centered community of Encounter Coaching Leaders for the purpose of equipping and supporting each member with the heart and skills embodied in Encounter Coaching so they can fulfill their heaven-destiny calling.

Deliver transformational encounter coach training so that our Encounter Coaching Leaders are both competent and confident in their work / ministry within the broader Kingdom of God – working with Jesus (not just for Him).

Rewarding growth by producing strong, sustainable processes and systems that benefit both MetaFormation and our team members. Together, we desire to leverage our earthly resources to lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven.
